It ain’t christmas without sherry! Of course there are plenty, but for me personally it’s Harveys Bristol Cream in the blue bottle. Let out your inner granny and start off with an appetising sherry. The sweeter it is, the hungrier …

First came the appetiser, second the liver … Today I’ll begin with the starter.

To complete the first course Jürgen Hammer recommends a 2010 Riesling QbA from the Weiser-Künstler vineyard in Traben Trarbach, Mosel. It’s fruity but dry. Down to earth but exotic. Oh what a perfect match!

Don’t forget to drink! Jürgen Hammer recommends a 2010 SP 68, Nero d´Avola & Frappato from the winemaker Arianna Occhipinti, south Sicily. It’s not too strong and overwhelming for the fish but can easily handle the spice of the horseradish …
